These are the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn. When the shoe bends near the toe the material on top of the shoe protrudes inward causing pressure on the top of the foot which, if worn over a work day, will end up leaving a bruise on the top of your foot.
I kept mine for a week thinking that I could break them in and either get rid of this effect or get used to it - neither happened. After that I tried different inserts - that wasn't helpful either.
Keep in mind when you take step forward the top of the shoe bends and really comes in hard on the top of your foot. I really wish I could return these - but can't as I tried to break them in

Shoe wears well, but...So I've worn these shoes for 5 years. Not on a daily basis but a lot. These shoes, while not looking brand new still look good. So good that I feel comfortable walking into any meeting with any level of management and know that my shoes look good. I was able to avoid the creasing problem reported by others by buying the shoes 1/2 size bigger than normal and in a wide. The waterproofing is so good that in 5 years of rain, snow, sleet and hail I have never even thought about having to apply some myself. That being said the leather does not take polish very well. The polish usually sits on top and then wears off quickly. They shine, though. All you have to do is clean them and then a good brush and cloth shine does the trick.

Replaced a pair of Rockport's over six years oldI've been wearing Rockport shoes since having foot surgery in 1989. My last pair of Rockport's were worn almost everyday to work for over six years. Other than some wear on the heel, they held up well until the leather started to tear near the area where my small toe presses against the shoe. I have really flat feet and Rockport's have been the only shoes I've been able to wear for any occasion and for long periods of time without my feet hurting. I hope I get six plus years out of my new pair.

Great shoe with great styleThis is a great everyday shoe that withstands a beating. Since it is waterproof, it definitely holds up over the winter months in the midwest. I've own three pair now as I wear these every day, even in the hot summer months. The only issue for me is the finish peals off near the bend at the pinky toe over time.
The shoe is sextremely comfortable and has great cushioning. Also, they need very little break in time.

Good PurchaseIt felt a little stiff at first but you should get used to it. It's light and a perfect fit. Good look with dress clothes.

PainfulNormally the Rockport shoes I have bought over the years are very comfortable right out of the box. These are very stiff and painful to the point I have to insert a think pad into the shoe to be able to walk. So far they are slow to break in, but slowly getting better. Not what I have come to expect from Rockport.

My absolute favorite office shoeI love these. They are waterproof, last way longer than any other dress shoe that I have had and are nice and comfortable around the ankle. None of those skinny cut into your ankle pretty dress shoes. These are great. I have had them since 9/2008 and it is almost time to get a new pair (a little wear starting to show around ankle area).
